A: Hazardous chemicals refer to highly toxic chemicals and other chemicals that have toxic, corrosive, explosive, combustion, and combustion supporting properties, and are harmful to human health, facilities, and the environment.
Dangerous goods refer to substances and items that have hazardous characteristics such as explosion, flammability, toxicity, infection, corrosion, and radiation, and are prone to causing personal injury, property damage, or environmental pollution during transportation, storage, production, operation, use, and disposal, requiring special protection.
Q: What is the difference between hazardous chemicals and dangerous goods?

In the classification principles of hazardous chemicals, some hazards have not been adopted by the classification standards for hazardous goods, so some hazardous chemicals do not belong to hazardous goods, such as boric acid.
